Strategy, analysis, planning, and collaboration. Public radio's leading stations sharpen their
operations and shape their vision by working together as members of the Station Resource Group.

This site provides access to many of SRG's current projects and
an archive of key material from earlier initiatives. Each of the major section titles below will take you to an overview of that area.

GROW THE AUDIENCE
How can public radio achieve wider use and deeper value for its work? SRG is leading a wide-ranging and ongoing effort to outline opportunities, provoke thinking, and encourage actions to increase public radio's public service. The Grow the Audience section of our site includes research reports, think pieces, and recommendations from the Public Radio Audience Growth Task Force.

PROGRAMMING
SRG works with stations to help them improve their programming efforts, reach more
listeners and provide greater value to their audiences.

The programming section of our site includes a think piece on strategic differentiation of public radio news, reports on research about top performers in local programming, and a framework for assessing the benefits and costs of program investments.

FUND RAISING
Listener support and underwriting are the economic engines that drive public radio's financial growth. SRG has tracked revenue from these key sources –
and the costs of raising it – over several years. Our latest report concentrates on individual giving, the largest single source of station support.

GOVERNANCE
Aligning our structures with our public service mission, whether at independent organizations, universities, or other institutions.

CHARTING THE TERRITORY
SRG examined content, service, and organizational strategies that will take today's
public radio stations to the public service media companies of the
future. We have pblished over a dozen reports and findings across key areas.
